Canadian Pharmacists' Association' Practical Resources -- ADAPT (a new innovative patient care skills course)
As scopes of practice change, and pharmacists are enabled and expected to provide more direct patient care and medication management services, the development of both the skills and confidence to use these skills is critical. If you want to elevate your practice to the next level and stand out from the crowd by perfecting your skills in medication assessment, collaboration, documentation, patient interviewing and engagement, evidence-based practice and developing patient care plans...then ADAPT is what you need. ADAPT combines proven practice expertise in a dynamic learning environment using interactive online learning, supportive moderators and plenty of peer interaction. ADAPT is accredited under program number 02CPhA2003-1010UD for 76 CEUs. Funded in part by Health Canada under the Health Care Policy Contribution Program. Course material developed in collaboration with the Canadian Society of Hospital Pharmacists and members of the CPhA-CSHP Primary Care Pharmacy Specialty Network.
Dates: Spaces in the August 3 - December 13, 2011 ADAPT online course are filling up quickly! The next ADAPT course is scheduled for January 4 - May 15, 2012 (registration opens fall 2011).
